List of GOP congressmen found with baseball practice shooter

US Representative Steve Scalise, the No 3 House Republican, has shown improvement in the past 36 hours after being shot by a man who opened fire on Republican lawmakers at a baseball practice earlier in the week, his lead surgeon said on Friday.

Although Scalise was able to talk on the ballfield, by the time he was transported by helicopter to the hospital, he was in shock.

Capitol Police Officer Crystal Griner also remains at the MedStar Washington hospital after sustaining a gunshot wound to her ankle, but is in "good condition and good spirits" the hospital said.

Scalise arrived at the hospital in a critical state, facing "an imminent risk of death", Sava said. Sava later told The Associated Press that Scalise's care is on track for someone with such a severe injury but that he still faces many risks to recovery. He said doctors have turned down Scalise's sedation levels enough that the lawmaker has been able to respond to family members visiting him in the hospital.

Once he has recovered, Sava said, Scalise will require rehabilitation.

James Hodgkinson, 66, who died in an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement during the shootout in Alexandria, Va., on Wednesday, had a list in his pocket that included U.S. Reps.

Earlier Friday, Trump said during an event in Miami that Scalise "took a bullet for all of us" in the surprise attack in Alexandria, Virginia. "He clearly knows that they're there and appreciates their presence", Sava said. "And because of him, and the tremendous pain and suffering he's now enduring - he's having a hard time, far worse than anybody thought - our country will perhaps become closer, more unified". Sava said Friday that there are hundreds of bullet fragments in Scalise's body, but "we have no intention to try and remove all the bullet fragments at this point". "So we all owe Steve a big, big thank you", Trump added.

The FBI said that the shooter's weapons found at the scene - a 9mm handgun and 7.62mm caliber rifle - had been legally purchased. He declined to describe specific internal injuries. Hodgkinson maintained a social media presence that was pro-Bernie Sanders and anti-Republican.

But some of these iOS 11 features were already available on jailbroken iOS devices or on Android long before Apple unveiled them. That laptop-ness will become much more realistic in September when Apple releases iOS 11 .

The US president has been accompanied by Vice President Mike Pence, several cabinet members, Florida Gov. Castro's government has clearly stated it does not intend to change its one-party political system.

And that still leaves 20% of surveyed high school students and 7% of surveyed middle school students using tobacco in 2016. However other experts believe any declining trend with respect to tobacco usage is heartening and cause for optimism.

Trump said in mid-May the special counsel's probe would show there was "no collusion" between his campaign and a foreign power. Republicans in Congress are also shaking off the notion that Trump could fire Mueller .

Regional powers Iran, India and China, which all have political stakes in the fate of Afghanistan, also must be considered. His new strategy is a work in progress, Mattis said, and "does not at this time change the troop numbers in Afghanistan".

If I pick one (a win) up here, great. "I'm simply a golf fan, so I'd be out here today anyway", Surges said. He had previously said he would not travel to Wisconsin until fiancee Paulina Gretzky gave birth.

The markets seem to keep chugging up the mountain these days, no matter what is going on in the USA or the world. Johnson & Johnson rose 0.6 percent at $132.76 after the company's flu drug succeeded in a mid-stage trial.

As Fox News moves forward into a new, Roger Ailes-less future , it's apparently looking to rebrand as well. The slogan was used by Fox since its launch, with the tagline reportedly being coined by Ailes himself.
